Genisis would be the perfect fit here, especially in the way he’s transformed post Crisis Core. Final Fantasy games hav e long featured super bosses, enemies that are stronger and more challenging than the final boss. The most effective way of looping Genesis into things would be to make him some kind of secret boss or super boss. I love that the Final Fantasy VII Remake is liberally taking time to retell its story and expand on what the original game did, but I seriously hope Square Enix doesn’t drop compilation details by the wayside. This alone makes Genesis fascinating, and part of his character is the inferiority complex that develops from being a failed experiment, and the physical ramifications it has on his body. He was part of the same experiment that infused Sephiroth with Jenova’s cells, although he’s essentially a failed version of the iconic villain.
To give a bit of context to Genesis, also referred to as G, is the main villain of Crisis Core. However, there are many ways you could loop him into the game while still keeping that core experience intact. Now let’s get something out of the way, I don’t think the Final Fantasy VII Remake needs to make Genesis central to the game’s story, he never was. At this point, we don’t know what, if anything, the Remake will be adding from the Compilation, but it’d be a real shame to just let Genesis fall by the wayside. Out of everything introduced by the Compilation, Genesis was the largest addition, and he’s even teased again at the very end of Dirge of Cerberus. This introduced brand new characters and plot elements, chief of which was Genesis Rhapsodos, a flamboyant new villain closely tied to Sephiroth. While the remake is certainly drawing all eyes right now, thirteen years ago Square Enix doubled down on the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy VII is one of the most influential RPGs of all time, and its legacy has been felt ever since its original release.
